would be more sensible. For in
stance : In New York the Democrats
are in an overwhelming majority, as
was shown in the election of Gover

that State, and the object of "No

they should all join the Democratic

shall probably then follow their earn
mendable example, and join their
"Onion Leeks." Inter-ails, as the
law has it, we would confidentially
advice them to make haste to join
the Democrats, for there is such a

We feel confident that in the great

we submit, if, 'tor the sake-of Unibiii

Resolved, That, as the true friends of the 'Union, and
feeling, a profound anxiety for its fate. we claim, and
will exercise, the right to consider, discuss, ascertain,
and urge, in becom log terms, upon the people and the
constitute( authorities, whatever measures will, in
our judgment, be moot likely to place and keep the
whole National Union together under one Federal
Government.
Resolved, That when theis war began-we bad the sol
emn pledge of the Federal Adm inistration, and of the
party which placed it In power, as expressed in the
resolution passed by Congress July 22d,1661, that it is
not waged on their part in any spirit of oppression, or
for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or for the
purpose of overthrowing, or interfering with, the
rights or established institutions of these States, but
to defend and maintain the, supremacy of the Constitu
tion, and to preserve the Union, with all the dignity,
equality, and sights of the several States unimpaired,
and that as soon as these ohjeCts are accomplished the
war might to cease. But the Federal Administration,
nethig under the influence of a small faction of ultra
Abolitionists„ always opposed to the Union, and with
out the consent oi the great mass of the people, has to
tally changed its grounds; avowing and proclaiming
its purpose to be wholly different, and thus it has
greatly delayed our just hope of an honorable peace.
The reading of the :4a - rations was frequently
interru.pted by applause, and the resolutions as
a whole were adopted unanimously amid the
greatest enthusiasm.

their hearty support to the nominees of the Con

Presldent.of the United Stotts.
Referring to .his tenure to receive the nomination,
the ! speaker said that if, in aspiring to the ()Bice of Gov
timer, he had no higher motive than .his own ambi
tion, he would have been unworthy of the position.—
Ile thanked the friends who had supported him, and
also thosewho in the exercise of their undoubted
right and their ;Mars of duty, had supported others.--
Ile could say that no one of his friends had been celled
upon to make any explanation-or apology with.regard
to his !fealty to .the Democratic party. That fealty
nothing could shake. He - referred feelingly end Indig
nantly to the attacks that had been rondo upon him,
but lie had no word of riunnlaint to utter with regard
to those who had been his competitors for the nomina
tion. •Ife yielded, he said,. as gracefully as could be
expected from a man who had twice before been called
upon to yield. In -xegardeto Judge Woodward, his

to praise im; since that might /24.1p/Y

would be no kidnapping under his nose. 'The rights of

Mr Clymer returned his thanks for the auppost which
had been given to hlrat ma had never any personal
ambition in regard to the nomination. Me had felt
that hi the midst of this cr isle he, personally, was
nothing, while principle was everything. " The stand

the future, with God's help, he would be a safeguard

me a precedence in the affection of Berke county ; but
I pledge that county to give more votes for George W.

Dili wirrFa SPEECH
MR. CLYMER'S PPRECII
The Rebel Rgid.
The Rebels, under Jenkins, nine hundred and
fifty strong, entered Chambersbnrg on Monday
evening, and left it on Wednesday afternoon at
one o'clock. They were composed of cavalry
and mounted infantry. They are also reported
to have bad two pieces of oar artillery captured
at Martinsburg, which they did not bring into
the tote's. They seem to haveleeti drawn as far
-as Chambersbarg in their attempts to capture the
wagon train which escaped from Martinsburg.
Immediately upon taking possession of the
town Jenkins threw out pickets as far as Scot
land, a distance of five miles from Chembersburg,
where the railroad bridge, a substantial wooden
structure, some eighty feet long, was destroyed
by them. Ile established a chain of expresses
between himself and General Rhodes at Williams
port. Scouting parties of considerable force were
sent out in the direction of Shippensburg.
Having taken these precautions; Jenkins is-
sued an order requiring the citizens to produce
all the Government arms in their possession by
ten o'clock on. Tuesday morning, under threat of
searching the houses of all-who did not produce
a musket. About eight hundred Government
muskets were bronght in by the citizens, which
were broken and burned by the rebels, before
leaving on Wednesday. A storehouse" was fired
by them; but the flames were ektingikished by
the citizens.
•
The contents of the drugstores of Mr. Nixon
and Dr. Miller were packed up and removed.—
Everything in the shape of a beaver hat was
seized upon, while, :the shining silk dressOhat
was passed by in contempt. Everything in the
millinery line was also gathered. Wherq pay
ment was made it was generally, in Confederate
paper. Occasions llya greenback was offered..
On Tuesday morning, about clever: o'clock, a
detachment of about forty cavalry from Carlisle,
while reeonneitring,met a rebel scouting party
on the pike, about four miles this side of Chant
bersbarg, and ,had a skirmish, in which two of
our Carlisle men were captured.
The Rebels seem to hare considered these Car.
lisle men as the advance pickets of a larger force.
The idea was, perhaps, suggested by oar captur
ed men, as about twe o'elciek some of our scouts
captured, near Geeneastle, an expreSs carrying a
despatch from Jeitkins to Rhodes, ;stating that
there was,a,very heavy force in his front, and
that be had sent his baggage to the rear: A auc
eeeding exprffis dashed through a -party of our
scouts, pistol in hand, ant reached Rhodes,
Later in the day the Rebels told the citizens
that they expected heavy reinforcemints of in
fantry, and'tbat they would be up by . nine o'clock
on Wednesday morning.
They did not come, and at one o'clock Jenkins
withdrew, his force in the direction of Hagers
town.
The Rebeis have not at any time been nearer
to Harriaburg than to Scotland, as mentioned al
hove,with the exception of a scouting party of
30 to 00, which rode around Shippensburg on
Tuesday night, And the force ahole named has
been the only one which had up to Wednesday
night been within the borders of Pennsylvania.
ITAnntsuuna, Thursday, June iB. 8 P. M
At noon to day the rebels were said to be re
turning to Chambersburg in force. The tele
graphic operator procured his information from
a scout, who adv iced him to leave at once. Men,
women and children passed the' telegraph °ince -
in confusion, leaving the town. The operator
made every preparation to leave, taking with
him his instrument, in order that he might com•
mon Mate with Harrisburg
. at some point on the
road. Be still, however, at this hour maintains
his position, and the alarm is probably false.
The Rebels in the neighborhood of Gettysburg
have not been heard from_ They are, however,
said to be in force, say 25,000 strong, and it is
thought their aim is Baltimore.
LATEST FROM TBE BORDER.
Ha.v.ltissulta, Thursday; June 13.
The reports from the border line'. have been
very conflicting during the day. The following
is the latest report from the operator at -Chem
bersbarg, dated 6 P. M.: "The latest scent jest
in reports being eight miles from here, and saw
no rebels, and heard of none being,at Greencas
tle."
Anather scout confirms the report of a body of
Miming at Greencastle at noon . , and dividing,
one portion going towards Waynesboro, and the
other towards Mercerahurg, supposed to be after

Heavy cannonading was heard at Greencastle
in the direction of Harper's Peril!. --

They crossed the Potomac at Hancock, and work

skirls ed here to night, states that these 1, - 700 are
part of the 2,000 he reported having lest at Win.
cheater.
'Gov. Seymour, of New York, has tendered
Gov. Curtin fifteen regiments,wh which have been
accepted. Ile is also reported to have sent for
Gen. McClellan to assist in organizing the troops
for this emergency. -
Regularly organized troops, from New York
and New Jersey, arrived today.
The anthorites are busy organizing the troops,
who continue to arrive in-large numbers.
The work on the rifle pits and • fortifications
on the other side of the Susquehanna is still go
hag on, and there is much activity there, at
Camp Curtin, and everywhere else in and about
the city.
It is believed that there are now no relsol
troops in this State. •
• The cavalry force, under Jenkins, was at II&
gerstown last night. There is no evidence of
any infantry force having been with him.
Qn leaving Chambersburg the rebels took with
them a number of the most prominent farmers
in that section of, the valley.
HARRISBURG, Friday, June 10.
Two boatmen who left IVilliamsport,. Md., on
Wednesday evening, report that at the time of
their leaving, six regiments of mounted infantry
were eneamped on this side of the river, and
more were crossing.
Gen. Rhodes'i liendquerters were on -the °NKr
site side of the ricer- et Ilegerstown.:, - Theie
were four regiment's' of infantry encamped "about
two miles this side of the town.
At Williantiport, the rebels wore paroling all
the citizens, and both the boatmen bad their pa
roteloapers. ,
• This learning, Mosby's cavalry is, eight in Iles
be.low Chambersburg.
That portion of the rebel cavalry which left
Greencastle in the direction of Mercersburg yes
terday ware at Nceonneilaburg this morning,
taking the road towards 'Hancock. Th 4 are
on a horse and cattle stealing expedition.
Fresh troops continue to arrive in large num
bers, by every train, but not as rap idly as the
State authorities would desire.
HARRISBURG, Friday. June J 9..
I have seen to day a number of despatches
from the border, - indicating the presence of a
considerable rebel force at Hagerstown, I
I iamsport, Hancock and McConnelisbnrg, ,but
there are no signs of 'a powerful inroad in this
direction.
Our troops. are now going down thit%Cumber
land Witty pretty briskly. The fortifiention on
the hill opposite the city is nearly , completed,
Troops from the East continuo to come, to be
sent to the front.
1.1.4.11.11158URG, Tune 2D.—A heavy force or reb
els Continues to linger in the vicinity of Hagers
town and 'Williamsport. Scouts sent out from
Chambersburg report that there are indications
of a retreat to the other side of the Potomac, but
this afternoon they moved up in the direction of
McGee ne Ilsburg and Bedford. Genera I Milroy
is on the alert for them.
Active operations have at length been com
menced by the forces organized here. A portion
of the Xew York Cavalry regiment to day cap
tured twenty rebel prisoners et bleConnellsburg,
in Fulton, county. We bold Chamberaburg, and
the eititens are arming and fortifying the city.
General Couchlas ordered - that the place shall
be held.
The fortifieat ions opposite this city are finish

The rob*, are known to be- eight thousand
strong at' Hagerstown and Williamsport.
We have been permitted to pub
