WUNDERLICH, Secretary, !C7" In our"last wo published an extract from a letter written by Dr. M’Gustoce, (now of Paris,) in which it.ATiis shown that the Fed eralists ol 1812 had opposed M adison and tlie war, and had even gone, so far as to seek the life of ihe then President. This letter of Dr. M'C’s first appeared, in tho Carlisle Her ald, and was aao doubt published in mistake, for it continued’ many undeniable (historical facts. The last Herald, in alluding to our comments.on this letter, says: • “ The paper (Dr. M'Olintnck's letter) eon tains-tiio opinions, views and expressions of the Federalists,of 1812, which the Volunteer denounces as ” disgusting and- treasonable,” and then proceeds to argue that ,tile same Couise, or one infinitely worse, pursued by the Democrats of the present day is eminent ly proper and patriotic. This may he a logi cal conclusion hut really wo are unable to see it.” ‘ ‘ We pronounce the above an unvarnished falsehood. In our remarks on Dr. M’C’s letter we made no reference vVhatevcr to tb.o course “ pursued, by the Democrats of the present day,” and the Herald cannot "lit out of a scrape by putting words into our commits never uttered. We spoke of the Eedemlists of 18il2, and compared their. position with that occupied by the Abolitionists of the pre sent day'. Let any one,road-our remarks, and he will see that, the lief aid had to resort tv Unit meanest of all'expedients, prevarica tion and falsehood, to answer ns. It may be true enough ti nt the writer for the Herald is "unable 1 1 see it,”- but other people can. Dr. M'C ustock’s letter, and the extracts if con tains from Mint eh- Caret's book; furnished a powerful argument against those miscreants who now argue that Abe Lisools is “ the Government,” and we are glad to see that the letter is being published extensively by the Democratic papers. rrT- The Herald regrets that bully Burn ide did not hang Yallandigiiam “ to the op of the tallest tree in Ohio.” .Perhaps it was for want of a hangman tlvatbo did not do so. Will not the writer for the Herald vol unteer his services and act as hangman for Biminside? We have no doubt he would be considered ” the right man in the right place,” and make money'at the business.

J Tiie Abolition or Jacobinical papers of this _ I and other States have sited many crocodile ' tears because the Constitution docs not allow I soldiers in the Hold tho Tight -Of suffrage, they cry out, in dojpful: tones, “wlinta. shame it is titat our poor soldiers arc not al lowed to vote.” That the Abolition papers are dishonest in their professions of friend ship for the soldier, is manifest. They might Want him to vote, it is- true, provided ho voted the Abolition, ticket. But if ho dared to exorcise the right of a. freeman, and vote as his commence dictated,'ho would bo. disgraced and punished by tho tyrants at Washington. But a few weeks ago “ tho joker of the White House” dismissed an offi cer from tho service because that officer “ had | voted tho Democratic fiokot in Hew, Hamp shire.” W r ho but a bigoted Abolitionist could bo guilty of such an outrage ? .It is sheer mockery, therefore, in the Abo litionists to-profess regret because of the.pro vision in tho Constitution which forbids sold iers voting in the field. It is because they, wish to make political slaves of the soldiers desire to use them lor their own accursed political purposes, that they would like to see them have the ,right to -vote. The soldier, had ht a vote, would bo compelled to deposit die ticket fern islied him by the minions, thieves >.nd contractors who tie interested and desire. to'see the war go on, without a hope of settle ment. if his is the only idea Republicans have of soldiers, voting.. They would strip: the 1 soldier of hie right's and deprive him of his manhood, and use him to £o their dirty work. The soldiers, we feel' satisfied, have no desire to enjoy this kind of “ privilege.”. But, as the B.lacksnake. Abolitionists pro fess so much solicitude for •» our poor, sold iers,’.’.we have a proposition ,to aubnlit. Sup pose wp (that is the administration and the people of all parties,) agree that the soldiers composing the. army• of the Potomac shall vote for and elect the General .who is to lead them into battle.. What Say you'to, that, Blucksnakes.7 What say "you to that, yc-ei tors who are bo anxious thnt-soldlcrs.in the field ‘shall have the righfof suffrage ? Will you agree to it?-If you will, wo feel sure every Democrat will. Give the soldiers-this right—and it is a right they should have, a right they mighf with justice' demand—ai M’Clellan will bo called back to bis old. position by a vote approaching unanimity. Now, Messrs. Blaeksnakcs—youmcti who falsely profess to be tfce soldier's friends, an! who preach up the doctrine that ‘'the Prosiden is the Government,” will you agree tba die soldiers shall select, by vote, their o ,rn com manders ? ;-If there is a right that tho soldier should- demand, it is this, Now let us all agree to give him tins right, and our word for it, the war will be ended in less than six months. What say you, fi-ionds of the ad- ministration ? 1 ' EdUor of Tranter-Thinking that per -1 Imps yon and your many readers would bo ploastd to hear of the dqods and- doings of the Demooaaoy ,of Cumberland Valley, I am glad to bo able to inform you that never was there a greater display of spirit and zeal for the good cause than exists to-day throughout the Country. Organizations have bogutS in every township, and scarcely an evening passes without having one or two enthusias tic gatherings of the people. ■I had the pleasure of attending one of those [mootings on Saturday night hist, in Silver Spring township, As wo neared the place ofßendezvous, wo met large .companics on their way to attend the meeting- yet wo could not but exprpss surprise on our arriva to find the place literally thronged with poo pie. AVo are sure wo have never befn.ro wit nessed a township mooting that would com pare with it in numbers In a short time the speakers arrived, and the eager crowd was addressed from the door of the'hotel, first by Mr. M’Olaughlin of your place, who spoke over an hour with great in terest to the audience, lie was followed bv M. C. Herman, Esq , who went off'in big usual happy style. Mr. Herman closed by introducing Mr. Willey, (a son of Senator Willey, of Western Virginia,) who made" a brief but very eloquent ajid forcible; speech. All of which was concluded, with throe hear ty cheers by the audience.' This is only one instance. Mr. Editor, that I could give you of the strength and enthu siasm of the meetings now being hold all over the county. Suffice it to say we will have no trouble in carrying the State by 25000 majority at our next .'election. Tue Berks County “'Conspiracy’! Oases. —A couple of months ago, our .readers will remoinher, several Democrats of Berks conn-' t.V were arrested by the minions of the ad ministration, on the charge of treason, or “ conspiracy against -the Government.” Of. courae.dbe whole .thing was. got up far politi-; Ctrl effect, and private citizens, were placed under heavy bends merely fo gratify a few rascals Avho are' robbing the. Government.—^ l These “ conspirators” had a hearing in Phil adelphia last week. The Reading Gazette thus refers to the matter: ■ The “ CunspiracV”-. Cases.— The- final hearing of Messrs. Seidel, Mnthart, Heed and other citizens of Berks county, who, together with Philip Huber, of Lancaster county” were arrested some time since on the grav'd charge of conspiracy against tho Government-of, the, United States, look place on Tuesday before Commissioner Ileazlitt, of theD. S. District .Court. The -result of this affair, out of wliieh.it aviis hoped-by the.-prosecutors, a big amount of political capital might he made” is tlmfMossra. Soidot, JVlutliarc and Reed af ter having been subjected to the mortification of an arrest as criminals, and to. the incon venience and expense of three several visits to Philadelphia, are , unconditionally dis charged, not a particle of evidence hnving been produced to sustain, the accusation against them. On the contrary, one of the chief witnesses for the prosecution, actually toslilies that, instead of being, sworn to do aught against the. Government, ho took ah oath, administered by Mr. Seidel, “ to sup port the Union find the Constitution, and not to rental Ihe draft !” The testimony against the. other parties, ,taken altogether,- (hies not -make out,the.shadow of. tv,eaae in supportVif the original charge, although the U. S. Dis trict Attorney, for tho sake of- appearances, has seen fit to have them bound- over to take .their trial. Wo-shall ho much surprised if they arc over tried. Thu end' of this pro-' ceeditrg will, we trust; teach the over-zealous' friends of the Administration in this country that the game of attempting to make traitors rmt of reputable, law-abiding citizens, <>n the' mere statement, of hired spies and common informers, is not Avorth tho candle. How are our Dresses to be Made ?— A .•otompnrary answers the foregoing queston ;n the,following lively manner :—" By a sew-’ ing machine, of-course. Wo trust- that the day is over in which noodle drudgery sets a, feeble opposition to tho musical click of the Wheeler & Wilson machine! ‘ A lady wlio says slio does not.know how to use a sewing machine, is looked upon witli as much dis trust as a lady who says, site don’t like ba bies! Side by side, in every homo, wo see the piano and the sewing machine. Of course, people have a right to their preferences,' but give ue (lie merry little musician whoso erys-. tal eye ami silver tongue not only fill the oar. witli melody, but set tho pulses of life and health throbbing anew in the weary-hearts of a million women. Is it not better than all. the pianos evor tuned? Sumo of the newest improvements to the Wheeler & Wil son machine, are the Binder, Braider and Cordcr, ail of which ladies find indispensa ble. I lie Braider is particularly appropri ate to tho present mania for decorating eve rything with braid. “■! do not know what wo should do without 'the'Wheeler & Wilson Braider,” said the director of onn .of our fashionable -mantilla establishments, -whon we inquired how those tasteful labyrinths of braid were laid on, and ills words are echoed in every home in tholand— 1 “ Really, we scarce ly know which blessing to wish our young lady friends—a Wheeler & Wilson machine or a husband ! We rather incline to the for mer, for they can exist minus the matrimoni al alliance, hut can’t do without a sowing machine. What do you say, girls ?” The Wheeler & Wilsm machine can be had of Mr. John Campbell, at tho Cumberland Valley Rail-Road oflico, Carlisle.

Managress, “No one who knows the President” sup poses that ho will over do anything calcula ted to put down tho rebellion ; but.ns far as possible ho will continue to disappoint the people’s wishes and tho soldier’s demands. But, if General M’Clella.v- lives, he will bo called upon by tho people to fill a position. That position will bo the Prosidoney. DP' Says nrie of onr exchanges: They ar rested Vnllandigham for what ho said in a speech, and a million tongues began to talk for him.

J THE PEMOCBIcr WAKING -BP. A Subscriber. Correspondence of tlio Volunteer. UOW ‘DSION LEAGUES jRB FOR.IIED. New-buro, Juno 8, 18G3. A fbw Weeksago the present editor of the Shippensbiirg Nctca, induced by love of Coun try, called a mass mooting of the “loyal” citizens of .Nowburg nnd vicinity for the pur pose of forming a Union league. At the time appointed (in company -with a friend) ho went, prepared doubtless with a speech that would have done honor to his immortal namesake, The citizens poured in from eve. ry street and lane to the number of four — three men and a boy. But this offspring of genius was equal to the occasion. Ho re membered the reply of tho elder Napoleon to his over-oftntious Marshall—“ Circumstan ces,’ ho saitl, “ Circumstances, why, I make them.'’ So ho did, and so did our hero; for ho sat down and from his audience of four he enrolled a long list of Union-leaguers, comprising many of the most , anient, life long Democrats.in the community, wjio wore all tho whilb ignorant of the existence of tho meeting and even of tho terrestrial existence of the shade of Daniel Webster. Truly, this is an age of invention. It is no longer en ough to say. that “.some things' can be done as well as others.” The story of Cadmus, .who raised a crop of armed men by sewing dragon teeth,js completely outdone. . The fame Of Ilanibal, who melted down the rooks of the Alps with vinegar, grows dim in tho brightness of this new achievement. Ho I Hr. Samuel Weller—or your ghost, if you be al ready dead—we bog leave to amend your “ embodied wisdom,” and make it read “more things can be done by a Union-league-mak.er than by any body else.” . Stand aside, anti let tho luminary arise. Wlicre Hie Bcsponsibilily Rests. t:is important, says the Chicago Time's, at those public men by whom this awful civil war might have boon prevented, but who wilfully precipitated it, should not.os oape, for n single day, the just responsibility which will finally bury their names under a load-of detestation and obloquy. We there fore place before our renders this morning a letter from Rcvordy Johnson, the distin guished statesman of Maryland, reciting the essential , history of the memorable Peace Congress,.-. It was within fhe power of the republican-leaders, through the instrumen tality of that Congress, fairly and honorably to preserve the ponce of the country’. If any body doubts this after reading Mr. JohnsonV letter, lot him,, turn to the speech of Senator Douglas, delivered in tho Senate, January 3, 1801. Said he: ' “I believe this to bo a fair basis of amica ble adjustment. If you of the .republican side are not willing to accept this, nor the proposition .of the Senator from KenChcky, (Mr..Crittenden,) pray tell us what you.are willing to do ? ‘‘.l address the inquiry to republicans only, ■for the reason-linn in the Committee of Thir teen, a few days ago, every member from /he South, including-those from the cotton States, (Messrs.

Gi/ldinjrs, one ot ■the earliest am) noisiest Abolitionists.-is bur. Consul in Canada. The author of Helper’s “ Impending Orisis,” one of the .moat dan gerous Abdlitiim books ever published in-the country, is our Consul 'to Buenos Ayres.— Bayard Taylor, one of the editors ainl own ers of the.N. A- Tribune, is acting Minister 'to Russia. A brother of John Brown’s has been appointed to a clerkship under Secreta ry Chase. The principal, advisers of the President lira Wm. 11. Seward and Salmon P. Chase, early Abolitionists. The politi cians who have most influence with the-. A dministrations are Sumner, Wade, -Stevens, Bingham, Chandler and Greeley. Every act almost that the.Abolitionists'have demanded,- they have obtained, and will continue to obtain. We leave the reader to judge foi himself whether the Administration is Abo lition or not. A rottTioN of the new oath taken by members Of the United States Senate de clares that they “ will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, 'foreign and domestic ; that they will bear true, faith and allegiance to the same ; and that they take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion,” &c. And yet there are men who thus swore fidelity to the Constitu tion, who despise it from the bottom of their hearts, who are ready to violate it at arty moment it comes in conflict with their per sonal or political aims, and who call people traitors that wish to hold them to a strict performance of its provisions 1 Can such persons bo confided in by the people, and will the l.tter continue In give them encourage ment by supporting the measures which they originate? . An Alarming Admission.— ln refusing to issue a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Mr. Vallandighani,' Judge ,Leavitt of Cin- Einnati, said; Fin- the reasons which I attempted to set lorth, I am led .clearly to the conclusion that i cimnot judicially pronounce the order or Oenoral Burnside for the arrest of Mr. ■Valaiidighamns a nullity, and must, there loro hold that no sufficient ground lias Been exhibited tor granting the writ applied for. lucre is one other consideration to winch I J P or / ,a P H . prupnrly refer, not as a reason lor refusing the writ applied for, hut for the purpose of saying that,, if granted, there is no probability that it would ho' available ml m.

The NT. 11. Democrat says it is a rinta hlo fact that all the Abolitionists who are loudest in their laudations of the conscription act are over age, or have money to purchase exemption. Noble patriots I Ex-Governor Bigler was ono of the speak ora bejfure the inouster mass meeting of Dcmo ornts, |held in Independence Square, Phila delphia, on tho evening of (bo Ist .ihst—a in acting which was pronounced by the Ledg er “ the largest over hold in Philadelphia.” Ex-Governor Wji. Bigler was introduced. Uo spoke as follows ■. Gentlemen : It’ is not.my intention to dis cuss tho primary causes, tho present aspect or tho probable results of the bloody strife how raging between the Government and tho revolted States, or to notice, the measures and policy of tho Administration in the man agement of this ’fearful .conflict.- Those things, as I am informed, do not come within the objects of this meeting. The solo pur pose of our assembling to night is to express, in most emphatic,terms, our condemnation of the lata outrage upon personal liberty and freedom of speech, in the arrest, conviction and banishment of tho lion. C. L. A’nllnndig -Imm, of Ohio, and to enter our solemn protest against tho repetition of' such wrongs by those in.authority. In this wo shall, in my opinion, reflect the sentiments of three-fourths of the pimple of the Northern States. Not that Unit proportion approve all that Mr. Vullandigham lias said, or think it was neces sary and proper for him to say all lic-ditl ; hut that nroportion believe ho had a clear Gonsti Htional right to do so, and they are, besides, utterly opposed to any and ail attempts, on the part of the Administration, to regulate or restrain free dismissions or meetings of the .people to consider public questions,' The Constitution declares that “,nn law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech dr of the press, or the, right of theffen ple peaceably to assemble to petition the Government for a.rcdross of.grievances,” and 1 it must be presumed that the people will qui etly submit to laws or pretended laws in do rogation of those sacred guarantees, much less' to he stripped of. their rights without even the pretence of lair. The relations between the Government and the citizen are easily under stood. The Government owes the citizen protection in the enjoy ment of life, liberty and property, nnd the citizen, in turn, owes the Government obedience, .implicit obedi ence, to all laws,enacted in pursuance.of.the Constitution, and to all rules,.regulations and orders adopted •in accordance .with sucl laws.' ' ' Oak-Dale. 'Obedience to law.'is the plain <1 utv-of rill. No matter how unwise the laws maybe, they must bo obeyeduhtil they can bo changed, ft is even necessary to acquiesce in (he, opera-, tiun uflatvs which'we.'believe to be unconsti tutional until they nan be so declared by the' Judiciary. The Government, on its part, is bound ip. gobd faith to see that (ho opporln nity for such tost is always at hand, and that the Judiciary is loft’free .and unres rained in its decisions. The agents of the people, di recting the affairs of tho'Govornment for the time being, .including-th'o President, derive their authority to govern Irom the. Constitu tion and lifcvs, and' are-ns much bound to obey law as the humblest citizen. They should remember, therefore, that the moment they ■transcend the limits of the lair, they arc themselves in the commission of-crime, and thereby invito and warrant resistance to their authority. - ■ ' Our doctrine is that all questions of law should be tested through the Judiyiary, and all questions of'policy and polities decided through the ballot' box. . Put all questions relating to the future, to the policy and mea sures- of-the Government—the manner of dealing with revolted Slates—whnthoi this niode of settlement or' that-would .be wise.or unwise, must he as open to discu-.sion hv the citizens as by tlie-Presidont himself. These are as much my questions as Mi-. Lincoln's, and I have all the right that ho Has to discuss’i them, whether I agree \yith him or not, and at tlio proner time I Intend, to .dlsouna tliCin.i. ojily tiio loghtof the.fieoplu'to consider. and express t.h nir. viewsailiudt thorn,.but; 1 ! -maintain it ia Vlicii ‘ duty to do su—that they cannot otherwise in tolligently exorcise 1 the privileges conferred' upon, .them by - the. Constitution. Indeed .without free speech".and a free' press, oui elective system wouid'ho wholly impractica ble, and our scheme of self-government be cUmo a delusion and a frau i; It is a dis tinguishing .feature of Our Ilepublioan' Gov ernment,' ’that confers ..upon ■ the humblest citizen, equal with the most elevated,'the right to reflect his sentiment through the bal lot, and thus leave the empress of his will on the pulley of .the. Government. But , how can the. people do these tilings properly,.if the right of free discussion ho de nied -them ? Uciw arc they to .weigh grave questions of national policy, except by'free interchange,of opinion and open discussion 5 How can they convince the Administration of the disasterous tendencies of many ol its measures, if they-bo.nut allowed to speak on the subject. Hdw can they show the mis chievous effects of bad laws and bad proclama tions if -tidy bo not allowed to discuss and condemn tliinn. If ever there was,a time in our, history when free speech was necessary, it is the present ; for never had the Ameri can people such grave and momentous ques tions to discuss. Before our country can' lie extricated from its present sad condition, and be secured in the enjoyment pf permanent peace, it will be necessary, 1 have no duub:, V the people of the several Stales to act mi the subject through' the hallot-hox, and who will contend, that they should bo required to deal with such vital considerations without dis cussion—unrestrained, discussion in the press and on the rostrum ? Many of the poor men of the country regard .that clause of the conscription act -wbicli presents a. ready escape for the rich from the carnage of the Held, whilst it dooms then), because of their poverty, as exceedingly unequal and unjust, and think it should'bo repealed m- changed. Will it be maintained' (hat these men have no right to express that opinion, and mask tlieirfcllovvcitizens,- when they come to the polls, to displiice those who adopter! the offensive.measure ? I trust not. This rbdit of free 1 speech is the very essence of our sys tem of government, and'hence the clear and* emphatic protection thrown about It by the Constitution. Its freedom must bo maintain'- od and vindicated in this crisis, or tlio coun try be abandoned to despotism. The Demo cratie party are for --free speech and n free press, for law, for order,"for free -elec thins and for -'the Union as it was; and, with, the I leasing of G.id, they will maintain those priceless objects to the inat. It was not shown Unit Mr. Vallamligham had advocated treason nr disunion, much less that ho had committed the overt act of treason. He hud not boasted bis labors of twenty years to break up the Union. lie find not'.denounced tlio .Constitution as a “cove nant witli lioll.and a league with tlio devil.” It was not even Charged that he had at any time.maintained that our “wayward sisters nf thVSouth should ho .allowed to depart in penceand yet the men who said those things are enjoying the liberty of .speech in the midst of their friends, wliilst’Mr.’V.ai hindighnm is banished from his home and Ins many anient admirers. No sentiment of disloyalty to the Government, or infidelity to the Union, bus boon traced to him. His dif ference-with the Administration was as to the best moans of sustaining the Gnvcniment, and saving, the Union. This is pree soiy tlio difference between the Adminis•.ration and tlio Bemocnitio party everywhere, as it also is between Mr. Lincoln andmiany of those who assisted to mako.liim President, I yield to none in devotion to the Union, and yet I could not reconcile support of the Administration with that devotion, because I believe that many of its lending measures were calculated to destroy rather than to re establish the Union ; and I am surely not one of those who rate tho government and the SPEECH OF HON. W.M, DIGLEIi, Administration ns the same, and held that because one-is unfriendly to the Administra tion, bo is necessarily unfaithful to the Gov ernment. [t would be about ns sensible to’ claim .that railroads and the agents who man age them are one and the same, and that ho who condemn and displace an incom petent engineer, because ho was about to run the train off the track and kill the passen gers, was therefore a traitor to all railroad enterprise. •'So too, resistance to an Admin istration, its usurpations and its aggressions, may be true fidelity to the Government. The history of the world is so full of les sons tin this subject, that one'wonld suppose that Mr. Lincoln would be readily convinced that every effort, to suppress free - speech would be fuel to the flames, and that bis true policy is to inyito free discussion imd defy criticism. Should ho do this, I have no doubt that in a short time the country would abound with a more liberal sentiment towards liis Administration and its measures. But the people will never submit to restrictions on the freedom of speech and the press ; and if they cannot .convince Mr. Lincoln and his friends of this ’determination in any other wav, they will do.so with the ballot. New, gentlemen, I.have already snidanneh more than I had intended, for the condition of my. throat renders it unsafe for nio to make a long speech in the night ;air.

That in dependence having once been acknowledged by the Unite-! States and iiy tho.Govornmeuts of England, France, Holland and Belgium, some serious diplomatic complications might follow such a move, if England and France should lie found willing to protect Texas in the enjoyment of neutral rights. A double precedent would thus bo established—first, the secession of a State from tho United states, and then a further secession of the same State from tho Confederate States, Wo trust tho Administration, which finds time to hunt down public speakers and newspaper publishers, will take this matter in band, and prevent tho disintegration of the Repub lic.— Phil.
